Claire has engaged in an active lifestyle from a young age through her involvement in dance. Her passion for dance has evolved over time into an interest in movement and health. Claire earned her Bachelor of Human Kinetics with Honours in Movement Science, and a minor in Psychology from the University of Windsor. While studying, she also worked as a dance instructor, teaching jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, pre-pointe, lyrical and early years classes. Through this role, she developed skills in assessing technique, providing individualized feedback, and promoting injury prevention. She went on to complete her Master of Physical Therapy at Western University, where she gained diverse clinical experience through placements in inpatient oncology, occupational health, pediatrics and sports rehabilitation. These experiences have shaped her approach to care, emphasizing the importance of patient-centered care and goals, and empowering patients to be an active participant in their recovery process. Committed to life-long learning, Claire values evidence-based practice and is excited to pursue further education in manual therapy and taping.
